At the Paris Climate Conference in 2015 (COP 21), most countries agreed to reach net zero greenhouse emissions by the second half of this century. It is an ambitious, but achievable target. It also represents an opportunity for businesses to prepare for a low carbon future with simple determination, and by leveraging their innovation and expertise.

I am new to powder coating, but the plant where I work has been doing it for a few years. The guys do a good job on single color and are starting to experiment with multi colors. Is multicolor powder coating possible? If so, do you have any information that would help us?

What happens if you ask your friends what they think about chemicals? Will they mention the risks, the possibility of accidents and injuries, air and water pollution or will they mention the essential chemicals needed in the products that they use every day?

Broadcasting LIVE from the Powder Coating Summit, the fundamentals of FEVE resin technology will be discussed. FEVE resins are alternating copolymers of fluoroethylene and vinyl ether units. The vinyl ether component allows for the incorporation of functionality including hydroxyl function group, which can be reacted with polyisocyanate crosslinkers. The resulting crosslinked films have excellent weathering, corrosion, and chemical resistance. Powder coating formulations based on FEVE reins pass AAMA 2605.
